another day at the office

confessions of a teacher

i have procrastinated work yet to be marked (since May)

i'm tired and overworked. yesterday, some of us teachers from the department went out for a community service teaching english to adults who never completed highschool. we arrived at the hall, waiting to receive instructions such as where we will be teaching our particular language skill... nothing for the first hour. they told us that the students would have breaks in between, but they didn't tell us when to stop and when to start... there was a schedule faxed to us, but everyone was doing stuff according to their own time. i enjoyed the food they gave to us though, at every break. my first scone wasn't that great - it had crab sticks in it. so much for telling them we were all vegetarians.

back to marking :)

Jessica Simpson flip flops!! California has such weird & nice things.

spinning in my head

It's Saturday night/Sunday morning. I should be asleep right now but weekends only happen on weekends. This Sabbath was quite interesting. The church pastor will be talking about Sabbath-keeping throughout the Sabbaths of this month. He mentioned the necessity of saying "No!" to requests. That's a skill I have yet to master. Another point he brought up was that the Sabbath is meant for communion with friends, family, and God. Well, some people will have to take that seriously. A few updates for this week, I think you know that I have rearranged the room, and I am on the verge of buying some traditional-Thai looking furniture/items to fill the room up. Don't ask me why I'm buying these things when I'm close to leaving. Yes, I've started using this traditional face wash and cream. Many of my friends are using it and it has proven worth trying. Look at the blue!! What's in the lamp? What's in the book? What are you looking at? Zits galore. Pls pe...

BAREFOOTERS love DUMPLINGS

Yes, that’s the name of the singing group I’m in.  Me and a bunch of friends started singing a couple of years back.  Members have gone and come… gosh don’t get me started I WANT TO CRY…sobs. Here are some pictures of practices we have.  We believe in having food and fun during practice time.  You know how vocalists emphasize the activeness of bridge between our eyes during singing and vocalization/warm-ups. We, instead of looking silly with crazy eyes while singing, opt for another type of stimulant… DONE prior to practice.  DUMPLINGS!!!! I’m so going to miss these beautiful people.

i want to go to these places in january

Pulau Sapi Pulau Manukan Must visit Islands!!! I call myself a Sabahan but I have not really explored Sabah. ptuii....
